  • Planting: A New Perspective

Perfect for you if...

  • You want your garden to look intentional and cohesive but don't know where to start with plant combinations.
  • You love perennials but keep making the same safe colour choices year after year.
  • You're someone who learns best from concrete examples and templates rather than abstract design theory.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're after quick annual bedding schemes or low-maintenance xeriscaping.
  • You prefer following one 'correct' design formula rather than experimenting with your own ideas.
  • You live in a climate where perennials struggle and you garden mostly with tender plants.
